Quinchelle Carr, a 30-year-old African American woman, was found dead in her Wilmington, North Carolina apartment on May 18, 2019. Wilmington police responded to a call at the 600 block of North 30th Street around 9:30 a.m. and discovered Carr’s body in her home in the Creekwood neighborhood. She suffered five gunshot wounds: two to the head, two to the chest, and one to the leg; both head wounds were fatal.

The investigation led to the arrest of Jermaine Pompey, a 36-year-old man who had been dating Carr. Pompey had a prior violent conviction for slashing a girlfriend with a razor in 2009 and was on post-release supervision at the time of Carr’s killing. He was charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a felon; in May 2022 he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received the maximum sentence for that charge, 35 to 43 years in prison. Carr was the mother of four children — two boys and two girls, including 10-year-old twins — and her family described her as selfless and kind.

Did anyone in the Creekwood neighborhood or who knew Quinchelle notice anything unusual around May 18, 2019?
